The Best Vitamins for Hair Growth

Posted on September 29, 2010 with No Comments

The best hair growth vitamins for hair growth I have found vitamins are made by Nourish they are amazing.  My hair seemed to be stuck in a rut the growth rate was extremely slow.  While researching I found there are several causes out there that could slow down hair growth.  Diet, stress, toxins in the environment, alcohol and cigarettes affect your health, energy level and can make your hair thinner and unhealthy.

By changing my diet and trying to eliminate the stress in my life and taking vitamins for hair growth I can see the growth and how healthy my hair has become.  Did these changes happen overnight?  Absolutely not you can not start one day and wake up the next with long lovely locks.  Make the changes listed above take a vitamin for hair growth and with time you will start to see longer healthier more beautiful hair.  Remember not only does this help your hair but is very beneficial to your skin and nails.

There are Specific vitamins, minerals and amino-acids which are vital to the metabolic pathways involved in keratin protein (hair) metabolism. If these nutrients are missing it is known that the hair growth process will slow. Important vitamins are Vitamin b-complex (including folate, biotin and inositol) and should be taken daily.

As I researched I found that the more natural based vitamins have been found to be more effective easy to swallow and with no side effects.

Nioxin Recharging Complex – Product Review

Posted on July 6, 2009 with No Comments

Do you have problems growing your hair? Are you suffering from hair loss? Perhaps you have a medical condition that makes it difficult to grow nails or even skin back? Do you have a cosmetic skin condition that topical agents and liniments just can’t fix? Then perhaps the Nioxin Intensive Therapy Recharging Complex (hair vitamins) is the perfect product for you.

Nioxin Intensive Therapy Recharging Complex

Its ambiguous and long brand name aside, this multivitamin and mineral supplement contains the active ingredient niacinamide, which acts as the catalyst in upholding the healthiness of your nails, skin, and hair.

It even has the usual “natural” ingredients (this time made from marine concentrates that promotes “super balanced nutrition”) that customers seemingly adore, but the FDA forewarns that the product is not an actual drug that can prevent, cure, treat, or even diagnose skin disorders. It’s an all-natural supplement, nothing more.

In spite of what it is and the limitations of its product type, the Nioxin Recharging Complex remains a highly recommended product for people who’ve experienced hair shedding, breakage, and loss.

It’s no Rogaine, but it works as well as any other commercially marketed vitamin would in producing healthier and thicker hair. In the same way that you need to eat the right diet to gain some sort of health benefit, supplements like Nioxin Recharging Complex can fulfill that purpose as well. Just don’t expect dramatic or illogical results, and you should be able to make the most out of this product.

Nioxin’s closest competitors—biotin-based vitamins—are certainly a lot cheaper than this relatively expensive multivitamin supplement. However, there’s a reason why hair stylists and hair experts from all over the world would rather recommend Nioxin than any other vitamin substitute.

After all, in just thirty days of use, customers will undoubtedly see a difference in their hair condition; that is, reduced hair loss, decreased shedding, and stronger, healthier hair that can withstand breakage. What more can they gain out of three months of use or perhaps a year of use?

Nioxin Recharging Complex has about two major drawbacks to it—it’s hefty price ($24.99 – can be found as low as $18.00) and the fact that you’ll have to take it frequently and religiously for a long period of time before you can see the results you want. It’s undoubtedly good enough to be worth its expensive price tag, though. It gets an okay 8.9 out of 10 stars merely because of its expensiveness and long gestation period. Otherwise, it’s one of the best hair supplements out there.

Other Products to Consider

Using Supplements for Faster Growing Hair?

Posted on May 22, 2009 with No Comments

Interestingly, one the best selling products in the industry is supplements (vitamins) for faster growing hair, healthier hair, et al.

I was pretty sceptical at first until I spoke with several of our customers who essentially “swore” their hair was either thicker, longer, darker – what have you.  When considering ingredients and their effects, I now understand whay so many people are hooked. 

Consider a couple of thoughts:

1. It’s well documented that taking a “daily recommended allowance” of vitamins and minerals helps keep our bodies strong and healthy.  Well a big reason is because we supplement intake with pills.  Ok, got that.  Well, to be more specific, our bodies can produce many nutrients just with our internal engine.  But, there are several that require us to get from diet, foods, and drinks.  If we don’t get enough of these (say Vitamin B-12), we end up with a deficiency that affects something – well, in this case it is follicle growth, strength, and shine.
2. For those of us with pets – especially the most devoted – we look for and search out pet food, treats and vitamins that will help our pet’s coat, reduce flaking or eczema, and give our pet’s more energy (assume we are talking about dogs and cats).  Well, if it works for our pet’s, why shouldn’t it work for us?  Uh..mmm..it does!
3. Follicle pore biology gives us somewhat of a glimpse into other reasons why hair vitamins help.  The follicle pore is found between and in the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous layers of the scalp and skin.  Arteries and veins feed the bulb and root, erector muscle and nourish sebaceous glands that produce scalp oil.  Studies have shown that malnourishing that little bit of biology can lead to lot’s of problems – thinning, hair loss, scalp micro-circulation disorder, undernutrition, and an over-abundance of DHT accumulation (I’m discussing DHT next week – pretty interesting topic).  With that said, boosting Biotin, amino acids and trace minerals, Vitamin B-12 and some herbal supplements – saw palmetto, Ginseng, and copper peptides – have all be shown, studied and reviewed to be really good for our hair and follicle development.

I’m going to write about this subject more in the coming weeks.  It’s important.  We think it’s important for our pets – I think it’s safe to say the human versions of hair vitamins are even more effective and narrow in their focus (that’s a good thing!)
